_____________________________________________
On average 70.2% of extent losses from maximum to minimum done, and on average 56 days to minimum
Projections. (Table JAXA-Arc1)
Average remaining extent loss (of the last 10 years) would produce a minimum in September 2022 of 4.65 million km2, 1.47 million km2 above the Sept 2012 record low minimum of 3.18 million km2, and 13th lowest in the satellite record
